If that is your photograph, how come the houses on the foreground are blurred like what you see on Google street view when homeowners request their house is obscured?

That's Worthing! The level crossing on South Farm Road to be precise. I did a double take on this photo - I used to live in the taller building on the left. Utter dump, but it was all I could afford.

Fortunately no longer on the transport network. The former DDR control point on the inner German Border at Marienborn.
Now the museum of German unity.
It’s difficult to convey the scale of the place which was the largest border crossing and the entrance point to the motorway that ran to Berlin.
Definitely worth visiting the museum.

Checkpoint Alpha has gone and just the foundations of the Russian military checkpoint are left.

I love this. I've seen it before and agree it's well worth a watch if you're into this sort of thing. You may also like this one by a former UK military guy who shows the route today. Well worth watching too.

i really must scan my photos of berlin, july 1990 (i was slightly miffed they had given up on passport control, so i never got an e germany stamp in the passport)
would really like to go there again, but need to find someone who can speak the language to go with (as i had then)

You don't really! English is pretty widely spoken in Germany now. Especially in Berlin. It's quite different from how it was in the 90s.

thanks - with same person we managed to blag our way in amsterdam without knowing any dutch (that would have been a year or two later) although den haag was more difficult.
it's partly summoning up the enthusiasm to travel on my own, partly don't feel comfortable about going somewhere i know bugger all of the language

Was also in Berlin July 1990, for Pink Floyd’s Wall do. Was ace and didn’t know a word of German. Went back in 1997 for Love Parade and in 2020, took the family to the site of Hitler’s bunker, they were suitably unimpressed, but I was trying to gauge where it was in relation the bogs I was sat on top of in 1990 with some skins who claimed we were sat on top of the bunker. The place has changed beyond recognition since then of course, but once I returned I was able to work out where stuff was, and blow me down, they weren’t shitting me.

I am not surprised Woman injured after royal police escort crash
I was crossing the road at a fair pace and the second police outrider started driving towards me reving his engine to say get out of our waybastards.

Yeah, it's a lovely line, although it always cracks me up that there's a famous poster from the early 50s for the old Atlantic Coast Express that ran down that route to Padstow, Ilfracombe etc. that says 'Exeter - Three and a Half Hours' for the journey time from Waterloo. 70 years later and no train does it that fast!

Clams on the half shell, and roller skates.
The Bishop's Castle to Shrewsbury bus. Having just walked some of Offa's Dyke I'm now going to meet Mrs Bassjunkie and the children in Shrewsbury to head to Ludlow for the food festival.

Brilliant. Did that a few years ago by (steam) train from London. Great day out.
